It's good to point out though. I didn't realize this about imgur links for a while and inadvertently kept on giving out links to my friends Facebook profiles. I'm not sure if they would have appreciated that haha

They can get into Pokemon all they like. I first played when I was eight and it's really for all ages. It is not, however, a good thing for children to be on Reddit. They've really killed the quality of discourse on this site over the past couple of years.

Edit to make this more than just a 'This' comment: I would totally romance Bianca if that was an option. She's adorable. But as soon as they bring romance into Pokemon games it's gonna get dicey... And then when people complain they can't wife their pokemons....I just don't want to be around for that.

We recently had a very, very large and controversial thread discussing the nature and morality of allowing players to do what they want in a virtual reality pokémon world. Of course, you can predict what happened next...

So either Gamefreak is helping younger children connect to their series, or they are catering to some sort of weird fetish. I personally believe they are young adults but I hear too much about 10 year olds elsewhere.
